Two games in the Australian football league will happen on Sunday. The last game of the week is going to be between Melbourne City and Brisbane Roar. After 18 games, City has 11 wins, 4 draws, 3 losses, a total of 37 points and 1st place while Brisbane has 4 wins, 8 draws, 7 losses, a total of 20 points and 11th place. In this game, I'm predicting that City is going to win.

In the last couple of games, City hasn't played the best football. City lost in the last round to Adelaide United, but before that, they beat Sydney and lost to another Melbourne team Victory. Both losses were on the road but in front of their fans, City has won 3 out of the last 4 games. Overall this season, City has 6 wins and 2 draws in 8 home games, with a total of 25 goals scored (2nd best) and only 9 conceded (tied for 2nd best). Per xG, the team is expected to score 2.50 goals (the best) at home and concede 1.22 (the best).

The Brisbane team has struggled a lot lately. In the last round, they lost to Macarthur (2:3) but had a win over Perth 2 weeks ago. In the last 9 games, Brisbane has 1 win, 2 draws and 6 losses. On the road this season, Brisbane has 2 wins and 3 draws, with a total of 9 goals scored and 14 conceded. Per xG, the team is expected to score 1.40 goals on the road and concede 1.48.

In the last loss to Macarthur, Jordan Courtney-Perkins received a red card and he won't play tonight. The hosts are going to be without Mathew Leckie for some time. Jamie Maclaren is the best player for City as he has scored 18 goals which is the best result in the league. To compare, Brisbane Roar has scored 17 goals in total this season!

This season teams have met twice. The 1st match ended with City's win (2:0) although they received a red card at the start of the 2nd half. In January, both teams received a point as they weren't able to score a goal. Melbourne City is a better team and has won all 5 meetings that have been played in Melbourne. City is going after the 1st place and they won't lose this game.

澳大利亚足球联赛的两场比赛将在周日举行。本周最后一场比赛将在墨尔本城队和布里斯班咆哮队之间进行。18场比赛过后，墨尔本城队11胜4平3负，积37分，排名第一;布里斯班4胜8平7负，积20分，排名第11。在这场比赛中，我预测墨尔本城队会赢。

在过去的几场比赛中，墨尔本城队并没有踢出最好的足球。墨尔本城队在上一轮输给了阿德莱德联队，但在此之前，他们击败了悉尼队，输给了另一支墨尔本球队胜利队。两场失利都是在客场，但在球迷面前，墨尔本城队在过去4场比赛中赢了3场。本赛季，墨尔本城队在8个主场比赛中取得6胜2平的成绩，共进25球(排名第二)，只丢9球(并列第二)。根据xG，球队预计在主场进球数为2.50球(最好)，失球数为1.22球(最好)。

布里斯班队最近很吃力。在最后一轮，他们输给了麦克阿瑟(2:3)，但在2周前赢了珀斯。在过去的9场比赛中，布里斯班取得了1胜2平6负的成绩。本赛季布里斯班客场战绩为2胜3平，共进9球失14球。根据xG，球队预计在客场进1.40球，丢1.48球。

在上一场输给麦克阿瑟的比赛中，乔丹·考特尼-帕金斯吃到红牌，今晚不能上场。马修·莱基要缺席一段时间了。杰米·麦克拉伦是墨尔本城队最好的球员，他打进了18个进球，这是联赛中最好的成绩。相比之下，布里斯班咆哮队本赛季总共打进17球!

本赛季两队交锋两次。第一场比赛墨尔本城队以2:0获胜，尽管他们在下半场一开始就吃到了一张红牌。今年1月，两支球队都因未能进球而各得一分。墨尔本城是一支更好的球队，他们在墨尔本的5场比赛中都赢了。墨尔本城队正在争取第一名，他们不会输掉这场比赛。
